BOTE is closed today in honor of Labor Day. We are resting, reflecting, and standing in solidarity with all workers! ✊🏾

The first Labor Day parade in 1882 was a massive protest where 10,000 workers took unpaid time off to march for fair wages and better conditions.

Unions helped pave the road to the rights we sometimes take for granted, like the weekend, the 8-hour workday, and workplace safety standards.

We see bodywork as an essential part of that mission, as a practice that repairs the physical toll of labor and honors the body that does the work.

It’s an act of restoration, and we want to make sure body work is accessible to the working class.

Today, we reflect on the solidarity it takes to build a better world and honor all workers. We hope you find a moment of peace to rejuvenate 💛

For the second year in a row, BOTE stands in solidarity with our community as we came together for Rise & Remember, a powerful event honoring the life and legacy of George Floyd.

His murder shook the world but from that pain, we find strength.

Healing is collective. Justice is collective. Change is collective. Attending Rise & Remember is always an opportunity for BOTE to aid in that collective healing 💚

🙏🏾

Hey beautiful community,

We wanted to let you know that with the recent passing of her father, Andréa’s schedule will need to be flexible as she navigates grief and all of its complexity.

To support her during this time, we’re encouraging clients to prepay for upcoming massage sessions—she’ll prioritize these appointments as her capacity allows. 💖

Important note: BOTE isn’t taking a cut, so every prepayment goes directly to Andréa.

Your support means the world to her as she navigates this chapter!

We’re a couple of months into the year, and we’ve already experienced so much uncertainty and upheaval.

Sometimes it’s easy to overcomplicate what our resistance efforts look like. There’s a pressure to “do more” for the causes that we believe in, and a sense that we can’t be happy while the world is suffering.

This is a reminder that...

Living well is resistance.
Living in community is resistance.
Touching, healing, resting, choosing joy—these acts aren’t just self-care to “keep fighting”...
They are the fight.

To maintain joy and hope is just as important as boycotting, protesting and voting.

Healing is political. Every gathering, every plant, every moment of rest is a refusal to let oppression steal our humanity.

This post was inspired by “The opposite of fascism” written by Anand Giridharadas from The.Ink publication on Substack. We highly suggest you read it if you have time!

If you’ve read anything lately on ways to resist oppression, comment them below so we can share the wealth of information.

We’re happy to announce a partnership with St. Paul Public Schools! BOTE is offer $15 off our services to the staff who tirelessly work to educate and take care of our kids.

We know that being a teacher is incredibly difficult! It’s also difficult keeping our schools running. So we wanted to do something to give back and aid in their self care.

If you know any teachers or staff working at St. Paul Public Schools, feel free to tag them! 🍎

✨ Honoring the Legacy of Healing and Resistance ✨
During slavery, enslaved men and women drew on African traditions to create a holistic view of health and healing that stood in stark contrast to the narrow, dehumanizing perspective of slaveholders.

While slaveowners reduced Black health to “soundness” for labor, enslaved communities embraced a deeper, relational understanding of wellness—one rooted in spirituality, community, and resilience.

Their healing practices, including herbal remedies, massage, and spiritual rituals, not only restored the body but also served as a profound act of resistance against the objectification of Black lives.

These traditions remind us that healing is more than physical—it’s a reclaiming of dignity, strength, and connection.

As we move through the year let’s remember that taking care of ourselves and others is one of the strongest forms of resistance ❤️
